How many cores do you have?
Memory and shared memory?

What do you mean network throughout?
Are you using a recent gigabyte swith?

Did you think about using SSL acceleration cards or a cheap VIA cards
for hardware SSL?

If you are really looking for exceptional speed, it may not be optimal
to share IPsec and Apache on the same machine. It is a question of
interruptions and CPU time.

Kind regards,
